and theatre studies. Dame Allan's is an Anglican school.[4]
In 2005 the school recorded its best ever set of exam results, including a handful of Top 5 results in several subjects, notably GCSE languages.[5] Furthermore, two pupils were awarded 6 grade As at A-level. The school consistently performs to an extremely high standard in public examinations, with the girls' school often slightly outscoring the boy's school at GCSE level.[6] The school has not yet been inspected by OFSTED[7] but received a positive report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2000.[8]
A recent inspection summarised the schools as "a civilised and civilising community ... [which provides] a well-rounded education for pupils from the age of 8 to 18, based on a broad academic curriculum and supported by a modest range of extracurricular activities".[8]
The school has a very good record of extracurricular activities, having earned a national reputation for the performing arts, in particular dance, and been awarded a Silver Artsmark Award.[3]
